Password policy changes for Cloud IDs
Hi Ronald,
Unfortunatly not, as you rightly stated you can modiy the password expiration and expiration notification etc. (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-your-password-expiration-policy-0F54736F-EB22-414C-8273-498A0918678F?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US) but not the account lockout settings,
Password policies and restrictions in Azure Active Directory: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-passwords-policy
If you were to deploy Azure AD Connect w/ ADFS etc. then your password policy would match that of on-premises AD.
Hope that answers your question, although it may not help your customer.
Kind Regards,
Jamie Brandwood
You can refer them to the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-passwords-policy#password-policies-that-apply-only-to-cloud-user-accounts.
For clients like this I would strongly recommend investing in the EM+S E5 plan that includes Cloud App Security licenses, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/cloud-app-security
